The fact property is "leased" doesn't make it government or non-government property. I would guess that the majority of local post office BUILDING is on a "leased" property from a non-governmental landlord but the operation itself is definitely "governmental" so the mandate would apply. As for The Villages postal centers, that might require a constitutional amendment.


Actually I found this:
ON BUYING AND OWNING A POST OFFICE - The New York Times

Despite the ever-present American flags flying above all United States post offices, the United States Postal Service actually owns only 3,691 buildings. The remaining 28,743 post offices in the United States are leased from other owners.

''They make very good investments,'' said Harry Eisenberg, whose Yonkers firm of O'Keefe & Eisenberg specializes in postal properties. ''There's very little management, and you get your rent on the first of the month.''
